Pros

Genworth can have competitive salary and benefits

Cons

The company has reorganized twice in the past two years and they have not gone well. They treated the employees in the latest downsizing terribly.

Pros

Great benefits, a lot of really bright people to work with, nice perks (i.e. on-site cafeteria, gym, training center, etc.)

Cons

There are many people in management that have no business being there and good people under them suffer for their ineptness. Expectations are extremely high and the company has a well-deserved reputation for working employees to death -- very true. There is no work/life balance and no appreciation for those who work the hardest vs. those who just do the minimum to get by. I was there for 3 years and the company fails miserably in training its employees or giving them the right information/tools to do their jobs. It's common knowledge that they just throw you in and expect you to do the work. They really need to work on that; it's not fair to employees.

Pros

In this current market, they are still paying me. Genworth is one of the only employers in Richmond, VA.

Cons

Low pay, benefits decreasing, bad reputation, poor quality of leadership, low incentives, cost cutting, broken business model, terrible processes, low investment in IT, and drab offices.
